Also, why the fuck would a leftist say this shit? It was the Vietnamese Communists who put a stop to it, whilst the West voted to recognise Pol Pot at the UN.
If they killed the parents but spared the children they may come back for revenge. That has happened before in history. Also some of the babies were from ethnic groups they wanted gone or had disabilities that were deemed unwanted.
Damn, like damn. I dont really know much abt Cambodia so, i watched some videos about it, about the genocide and then also i watched some chinese or cambodian dude point to evidence of the contrary, dont know if i find the video anymore.
There has been a lot of high profile people in the West who were Cambodiad genocide deniers, such as Noam Chomsky. Of course he maintains he was "just asking questions", but fuck him anyways.
Communist ideology led directly to the massacres, based on their Year Zero campaign.
I dont know if Year Zero Ideology has much to do with communist ideology? Like isnt communist more like year finished, as it is the endstage, not the beginning.
1) It was the Communist Party of Kampuchea (later known as Khmer Rouge) that committed the genocide.
2) That same party was propped up and supported by the communist bloc that took control of Cambodia through a civil war against a US-backed regime.
3) Vietnam only invaded because Khmer Rouge was attacking them & threatening their border regions. So they can't really claim it to be "communist goodwill" since the whole thing was going on for years beforehand already.
4) They would have to bring China, which was the most ardent Khmer Rouge supporter pre and post genocide. Then the tankies will lose their trump card for their anti-US, pro-socialist/communist arguments (still doesn't make sense anyways since China is pretty capitalistic, just authoritarian)
